Currently if i do the following:

> git checkout my-new-branch
 error: pathspec 'my-new-branch' did not match any file(s) known to git.
> fuck

I get the following suggestion:

> git branch my-new-branch && git checkout my-new-branch

This works fine, but what i more likely meant (and this does the same thing) is:

> git checkout -b my-new-branch

This is much more succinct and should probably be the suggestion in my opinion.

Suggest git checkout -b (#754)

This fixes #632

This uses `script_parts` instead of `script.startswith`
to let it work even if there's extra spaces in the command, e.g.

    git  checkout unknown
